I read this on my soap site today. It gives ALOTof background on the man and the characters he has played.
http://www.soapcentral.co...
A Martinez is once again returning to the world of daytime television. The two-time former soap star has landed a role on ABC's One Life to Live in a newly created role. Martinez will make his debut later this summer.
Emmy-winning actor A Martinez will join the cast of One Life to Live in the upcoming weeks. The actor has been tapped for the role of Ray Montez, a newly created role that may bring about the addition of a lot of new faces into the Llanview scene. It's been nearly six years since Martinez's last soap appearance on General Hospital.
Born Adolph Larrue Martinez, Martinez got his start in television playing bit roles in some of the biggest series of the 1970s. His diverse ethnic background allowed him to play both Latino and Native American characters. After guest spots on Adam 12, Ironside, and Bonanza, Martinez scored recurring roles on All In the Family and Whiz Kids. In 1984, he received what could have been his biggest break since landing his first television role.
From 1984 to 1992, Martinez appeared as Cruz Castillo on the now-cancelled soap, Santa Barbara. During that time he amassed seven Daytime Emmy nominations for his work. In 1990, he transformed one of those nominations into a win for Outstanding Lead Actor. After bidding farewell to Santa Barbara, Martinez moved to NBC's primetime lineup as Daniel Morales in L.A. Law. Martinez would end up exiting L.A. Law in 1994.
In 1999, Martinez returned to daytime television as the not-so-dead Roy DiLucca. Despite the high-profile addition of Martinez to the GH roster, the writers seemed unable to devise a meaningful story for his character. In 2002, Roy DiLucca accepted a job in sunny Miami, Florida and left Port Charles behind. For his work on General Hospital, Martinez was awarded three consecutive ALMA Awards.
Earlier this year, One Life to Live put out a casting call for what sounded like plans for a new Latino family. Martinez's addition to OLTL comes just as the casting process for that initial call would be wrapping up. There is, so far, no confirmation on any other performers that may have been cast as part of this wide-ranging casting call.
Fans have mixed emotions about Martinez's new gig in Llanview. Some are wondering why the show would be developing a new Latino family when the Vega family is still alive and well. Others hint that the new family could bring about a resurgence in storytelling for the Vegas.
A first airdate for Martinez has not yet been released. A One Life to Live spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

I'll watch for him. He will probably be someone's long lost something or another! PRobably related to the Vegas or maybe he will come home with Adriana or be her brother or something!

I thought maybe he could be the new police commissioner since the mayor doesn't want to rehire Bo.

Yeah, could be. I was thinking the other day - the 1968 thing would be a good way for htem to give "Bo" a vacation. The Del guy said that he didn't know if he could get BOTH Rex and Bo through the portal - and with Gigi on the way - that makes 3. Wonder if Robert S Woods just want a vacation and they will let Gigi and Rex go through and back to 2008 and Bo has to stay behind and "be" Asa. He could change history. And then when the actor wants to come back, they can make things go oddly wrong from what "Asa" did or they thought he did and only Rex and Gigi will be able to figure out what's going on and they'll say "Bo is trying to come back! We have to help him!" And that'd be a good storyline to bring the character back! I like the time travel storylines! Okay I got off topic that time didn't I?

I have always really liked A Martinez. Not just in soaps, but in other TV acting gigs. I always thought he should have had a more high profile career. Sure, he doesn't have the typical leading man looks, but who in the world likes typical? Give me someone unique any day of the week!

I agree. He looks interesting and he has a nice voice.

I thought he looked familiar. I used to watch Santa Barbara and then I watch L.A. Law until it was canceled. I had not watched One Life to Live - I was a Days of Our Lives fan. I did remember seeing him on Adam 12, Ironside, and Bonanza, but cannot recall what roles he played, but it is nice to know that he has a steady job in the Daytime TV family. I hear that you can be there for quite a while. I remember Rachel in Another World, also one of my favorite soaps.
